Generate an event file when executing CRTCMD

Create Command should generate an Event File. The command interface is one of the rarest and most elegant features of IBM i. The primary development tool for IBM i is now Rational Developer for i--hence, CRTCMD should be fully interfaced with it including the error list. This is not possible without and event file.


Use Case:

When developing a CL command in RDi, compile it. Then if there are errors, the error list can be populated and greatly increase productivity of the developer.

RFEs: 69324 and 78817 (both Uncommitted Candidates for RDi) would both be related to this. RFE 78817 can't be implemented without it.

    Note that the RDi use of this new support is being tracked with RFE 78817: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=78817

    Yes. Adding the OPTION parameter makes sense. I would almost prefer to have the default be OPTION(*EVENTF). If the default is *NOEVENTF, it would take modifying everyone's compile commands in RDi (that is all the developers in our shop) once the option is available. But I think that would be required anyway since OPTION(*EVENTF) is required to get the error list loaded.

    As long as the ability to generate the file is there I would be a happy camper. So I don't mind either way whether it defaults to *EVENTF or *NOEVENTF.

    I like your idea to add event file when create CL Command.
    I agree with that it is inconvenience when the CRTCMD run from RDi and with no detailed compile errors come back to the RDi client.
    Thank you for your suggestion, it is a valuable feature for us to develop in the future release.

    To implement this, I think one additional parameter need to add to CRTCMD command like CRTCLPGM, which is OPTION(*EVENTF), and *NOEVENTF will be the default value.

    Any further discussions are welcome.
